A south or west facing border or bed that receives 5 to 6 hours of sun a day is the perfect location for a Radiant Garden. Most flowers do well in full sun with regular watering, but check care labels before you plant to be sure.
Perennials are excellent choices for this garden, and once in the ground are relatively carefree. Take blooming cycles into account when planning this garden, staggering early, midsummer and late bloomers for spring-to-fall color. You may also wish to include a few annuals in the mix for their ability to provide ongoing blooms throughout the growing season.
Radiant Gardens make excellent cutting gardens and their colorful presence attracts a range of insects and birds. Roses are a great choice.
